something i wrote about my mum last summer. might be the best thing i’ve written altho i’ve got some way to go. once i’ve got my neocities up and running that’ll be where I really document my writing improvement but anyways.
mercury [1]
i will protect you
my terrarium of stars
but something else guides you
in the dark of the soil
like a galaxy contained
new voices fight on inside you
something uproots you from your natural course
gravity thwarted for someone else’s love
a planet, crooked, a flower, unearthed
disaster imminent, you are birthed
in the light of a new deity, her arms wide
you grow in her orbit and her living light
my gasp caught in glass
my smile trapped in this box
i will love you until you rot
your blood beads, blooming,
your stars are escaping,
you will explode until there’s not
anything left inside you

I have always loved outer space, so this hits different. Like, no joke.
oh really
what a nice comment. i love space so much, too. mercury is a planet (and element! and god, kinda) of extremes, that’s why i love it so much.

Oh for sure! I've never thought about it that way. When I was a kid, I wanted to be the first astronaut on Mars. Oh, my sweet summer child...
